Reveals! (+ friending meme?)
But first, some words from Modperor...
Though I’m sure none of us wanted postings to end, none of us can deny that reveals are one of the most exciting parts of an exchange. Thank you to all the people who helped us make this exchange quality-to the participants, who wrote such quality fics for the exchange; to the co-mods, stars_in_love and jesstoast (who also did a pinch-hit); to jongn, who posted when all mods were too busy to; to our pinch-hitters, sleighlay, darkyulate (who agreed to pinch-hit twice!), wangzi, and inkcoherent; and finally, to altair_n_vega, yuki_rvclw, whiskerd, lehunn, chocoyeol, lattelotus, and eijihood for writing pinch-hit fics in addition to their assigned recipient’s fics!
Just in case you’re curious before we get to the good stuff: a total of approximately 433,000 words were written for our exchange, distributed over 56 fics for 55 participants.
Without further ado, we pull the curtain!

Kai/D.O, EXO; ~16k; PG-15
